Package: lightdm
Version: 1.18.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

For what I can see, lightdm is stopping itself plymouth during the boot
to minimize the flickering of the screen.

That means that the plymouth-quit.service file shouldn't be started

I've attached a patch that copy what GDM is doing, I tested that on a
stretch VM and it's working.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
